Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Lorna Kavanagh:

It was in the media and I think the Cathaoirleach will have seen that there was a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old who were missing and unaccounted for. They had actually presented to UK and were in the care of UK social services eight days after they left this jurisdiction. There just had not been the appropriate follow-up, which we own. They were the younger children and they are all accounted for and in care.
